Hello,
I'm trying to explore family arrangements and from what I saw in the DHS report....there are under18 children living with only mother either because father is dead or the father is not living with them...
I've been able to generate a variable on children whose father is dead...but creating a variable for children whose father is alive but not living in the household is giving me a tough time.....
I need help please......

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
The following lines will produce everything you could want and will match with the orphanhood and coresidence tables in the reports.
* Construct the recodes used in "Children's living arrangements and orphanhood"
* orphanhood typology
tab hv111 hv113
gen orphan_type=.
replace orphan_type=1 if hv111==1 & hv113==1
replace orphan_type=2 if hv111==1 & hv113==0
replace orphan_type=3 if hv111==0 & hv113==1
replace orphan_type=4 if hv111==0 & hv113==0
replace orphan_type=5 if (hv111>1 & hv111<.) | (hv113>1 & hv113<.)
* coresidence typology
tab1 hv112 hv114
gen cores_type=.
* hv112r and hv114r identify parents who are in the household AND are de jure residents
gen hv112r=0
replace hv112r=1 if hv112>0 & hv112<98
gen hv114r=0
replace hv114r=1 if hv114>0 & hv114<98
replace cores_type=1 if hv112r==1 & hv114r==1
replace cores_type=2 if hv112r==1 & hv114r==0
replace cores_type=3 if hv112r==0 & hv114r==1
replace cores_type=4 if hv112r==0 & hv114r==0
* combined orphanhood and coresidence typology
tab orphan_type cores_type
gen orphan_cores_type=.
replace orphan_cores_type= 1 if orphan_type==1 & cores_type==1
replace orphan_cores_type= 2 if orphan_type==1 & cores_type==2
replace orphan_cores_type= 3 if orphan_type==2 & cores_type==2
replace orphan_cores_type= 4 if orphan_type==1 & cores_type==3
replace orphan_cores_type= 5 if orphan_type==3 & cores_type==3
replace orphan_cores_type= 6 if orphan_type==1 & cores_type==4
replace orphan_cores_type= 7 if orphan_type==3 & cores_type==4
replace orphan_cores_type= 8 if orphan_type==2 & cores_type==4
replace orphan_cores_type= 9 if orphan_type==4 & cores_type==4
replace orphan_cores_type=10 if orphan_type==5

* note that the allocation of hv111 and hv113 codes other than 0 and 1 is
* slightly different in the table than in "Info missing" above
gen one_or_both_parents_dead=0
